Mumbai Police announced on October 14, 2024, that they were making significant progress in their investigation into the murder of former MLA Baba Siddique, with a possible link to a controversial slum rehabilitation project in the city. Siddique, a prominent political figure, was shot dead in July 2024, and the case has since raised questions about corruption and land disputes in Mumbai’s lucrative real estate sector.
Investigators are exploring the theory that Siddique’s involvement in a high-profile slum rehabilitation project may have played a role in his murder. The project, which was allegedly marred by disputes between builders, slum dwellers, and political figures, is now a focal point in the case. Mumbai Police have intensified their probe, stating that the case will be cracked “very soon.”
Siddique’s death has shocked Mumbai’s political and business communities, with many calling for stricter oversight of slum redevelopment projects, which have long been associated with corruption and violence. The police remain tight-lipped about suspects but hinted that arrests could be made soon
